Panoramic Tour of the Old Town:

Embark on a captivating journey through Tallinn's Upper Town, Toompea, a small hill at the heart of the old city. Our exploration begins at the foot of the hill, where a medieval knight's castle awaits, setting the stage for tales of the Livonian Order, the legend of Linda and Kalev, and a 19th-century dispute shaping one of Tallinn's streets.

As we continue, we encounter Ibrahim Hannibal's house on the corner, prompting reflections on the events of August 1991. Our path leads to the city's largest tower, Kiek in de Kök, evoking memories of the Livonian War and Ivan the Terrible. Descending into the "Danish King's Garden," we traverse the Short and Long Leg streets.

The journey unfolds on Palace Square, showcasing the magnificent façade of the Governor's Palace and the later, equally splendid Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Following our visit to the cathedral, where Patriarch of all Russia Alexy II served and St. John of Kronstadt attended the consecration, we stroll through "House School" alley to the white Gothic church, the oldest structure on Toompea. Originally a Catholic cathedral for three centuries, it now stands as a Lutheran cathedral, hosting a remarkable collection of heraldry, epitaphs, and sarcophagi of renowned seafarers such as Krusenstern and Wrangel.

Honoring the memory of the hero of the Patriotic War and General Kutuzov's son-in-law, Tiesenhausen, we delve into discussions on the Protestant Reformation and its impact on Europe. Despite its modest 7 hectares, Toompea Hill encapsulates Estonia's political history, guiding us past the majestic Benckendorff House towards a breathtaking viewing platform overlooking the Lower Town, which thrived under the rule of merchants trading with Russia.

Indulging in glazed nuts and sipping hot Glintvein, we progress towards the government building terrace. Here, we delve into discussions about islands, the fortress wall, and politics. Descending via stairs, we find ourselves in the Lower Town near the former city gates. Here we will find a Boris Yeltsin memorial plaque. Strolling down Monastery Street and entering the Transfiguration Cathedral to admire Ivan Zarudny's majestic baroque iconostasis. The cathedral will be opened just for us.

Our journey continues through Lai Street to Oleviste Church, enjoying views of the Three Sisters, Sea Gates, and landmarks like St. Olaf's and St. Canute's Guilds, the Russian Embassy, and the Church of the Holy Spirit. Passing through a charming passage, we reach Town Hall Square, where we explore the world's oldest pharmacy.
The tour will end near Viru Gate.
